First Friday Film: Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?: An Animated Conversation with Noam Chomsky

Dates:

April 04, 2014

Times:

Friday, 8 p.m.

Location:

The Strand Theatre, Rockland

Director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) applies his playful imagination to animating a series of conversations with the esteemed linguist, philosopher, political commentator and activist Noam Chomsky. At the heart of these talks is Chomsky's theory of the emergence of language. In this intellectual feast, Gondry uses drawings to make complex ideas more accessible and to expand the documentary form.

Tickets are $7 for members, $8.50 for nonmembers and are for sale at the Strand box office prior to film.
